Commercial Estimator uses the ZIP/Postal Code to determine the default local multiplier, region and climate. The local multiplier adjusts the costs for a specific geographical location, and is taken by Commercial Estimator from Section F of the Marshall Valuation Service.
Note: Commercial Estimator does not have Local Multipliers for all Postal Codes in Canada. For further information, see Using Canadian Postal Codes.
